Okeee… since it’s taken me most of the day to understand this, on and off mind you, I doubt he’s someone I’ll pick up for light reading…. 🙄 My brain hurts…

It’s a self contradiction if the agmostic is making assertion that you can’t make an assertion about reality. To say that you can’t make an assertion is itself an assertion.
I think that’s what he said…..

Hi Bernard!
It made me think, that’s for sure. Another friend also reminded me that there are a lot of ‘agnostics’ who simply do not spend a lot of time pondering ultimate reality, and he is right, and that’s sad.
